Inter-sequence and inter-imaging unit mean coefficients of variation (standard error of the means) for the mean diffusivity and fractional anisotropy histogram-derived metrics
| Inter-Sequence (%) | Inter-Imaging Unit (%) | P* | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average MD | 1.72 (0.14) | 5.37 (0.7) | 0.003 |
| MD peak height | 5.56 (0.6) | 10.19 (1.0) | <0.001 |
| MD peak position | 1.90 (0.2) | 4.20 (0.43) | <0.001 |
| Average FA | 5.45 (0.4) | 7.71 (0.6) | 0.002 |
| FA peak height | 7.34 (0.9) | 6.07 (0.8) | n.s. |
| FA peak location | 7.30 (0.6) | 8.74 (0.9) | n.s. |
Note.—MD indicates mean diffusivity; FA, fractional anisotropy; n.s., not significant.
